METALLIC LEFTOVERS AS A SOLUTION!
Maybe begun as an immediate solution, the “alternative gates” of Old Himara can be numbered among the long list of spontaneous architecture. The actors that brought to this solution can be grouped in two categories: Resolute factors and Ephemeral factors.
The element used as a garden gate is recycled metallic leftovers of garbage cans.
As resolution factors are: poverty (which brought to cheep, functional, quick and intelligent solution) and security (which brought to the need of having garden gates)
A transit factors from resolution to ephemeral is: Color (a personal solution mimetised with the surrounding)
As ephemeral factors: Time and Weather (those brings variations and different perceptions of this fragments of “architecture” which transmits various feelings)
The second image is a collage of Spontaneous Architecture found in fragments of organic, natural, livable and artificial formations.
